Can you elaborate?
Well if you see the above demo,
I've the following in mind:
- create a new-demo in a special directory
- add some special keywords in the new-demo, in
which treenodes it should popup
- on restart of the demo, the new-demo is added to
the tree


To the extent that you just want a group of people to
be able to organically organize a tree-like collection
of Python examples, you could use a MoinMoin that has
sensible page names and the Local Site Map featured
turn on. Are you also suggesting the need for
something local, so that you can actually run the
programs?

I don't know MoinMoin,
but the answer is Yes (although maybe not for your ten snippets).
First of all I think all programmers keep there own collection of code snippets,
which much more valuable then "all the code code snippets from everyone".
Secondly, Python is nowadays not only used by programmers,
but also by e.g. Scientific users (former MatLab users),
who are not interested in the code itself,
but just in the results of that particular code.
For these people a lot of example programs,
for which they can easily see the results,
make some small changes and see the result again,
would be a wonderful addition.

just my 2 cents,
cheers,
